INTERNATIONAL visits to Britain for the first nine months of 2015 have broken previous records, says the Office for National Statistics. Its data shows there were 27.1 million visits to Britain from January to September this year, a three per cent increase compared to the same period in 2014.
Spending by international visitors in September was £2.2 billion, equalling last year’s record spend for the same month. Overall, spending by visitors for the first nine months of 2015 was £16.5 billion.
VisitBritain director Patricia Yates said: ‘It’s really great to see the continued growth in visitor numbers as well as the gains we’ve made in global perceptions of our brand.
‘Promoting Britain’s countryside, culture and ‘welcome’ around the world have been a focus for VisitBritain, so it’s really positive to see the big improvements in these areas.’
